Will was sure that that could not be true, so he told Fabian to find Aria's family and set his plan in motion. His baby was in for a big surprise.

They fell to the bed, side by side and breathing hard, their bodies glistening from sweat. Aria turned on her side, and Will pulled her closer, her head nestling on his chest, one arm thrown over his stomach and her leg between Will’s.
“That’s one way of saying good morning.” Aria whispered making Will chuckle lightly. “I can get used to waking up like this.” she continued making him smile softly while kissing her temple.
“You should.”
Aria sighed, squeezing him a little before getting up and starting to get ready for work. Will stood up too and hugged her from behind as he started peppering kisses along her neck.
“Where do you think you are going?” he asked her.
“What do you mean? I have work today.”
“No, you don't.”
“What? Yes, I do. I always work Saturday mornings.”
“I called your boss yesterday and asked her to give you a day off. She agreed.” Will whispered before biting on Aria’s ear softly.
“Ah, yeah... wait, what? Why?” she stuttered while simultaneously bending her neck further and giving Will more space to kiss.
“I have a surprise for you, and I needed you to be home.” Will said as Aria turned around and smiled shyly.
“A surprise?” she asked, just as there was a knock on the door.
“Yes. Now go and see who it is.” Will said while pointing to the hall and after giving Aria a small peck, he stepped aside and winked. Aria looked at him in confusion but obliged and left the room, with Will hot on her heels.
She opened the door and a loud gasp left her mouth as she saw who was on the other side of it.
“Mom?”

“Honey? Is everything alright” Eleanor asked her as she took a seat next to her.
“I am quitting school.” Aria said after a few moments while looking down at her feet.
“What!? Why!?” her mother all but screamed, as she knew that she would, and she flinched.
“I just don't want to study anymore, and David promised he was going to take care of me, so I quit.” Aria said quietly while avoiding her eyes, knowing that she had to keep up with the charade.
“Of course, it has something to do with that man. I should have guessed!”
“Don't talk about him like that.” Aria meekly countered her, even though inside she completely agreed with her.
“I'll talk about him how I want to! He changed you, Aria. He is pulling you away from me, from your friends, and now your school. I thought that you knew better than that!”
Aria started to shake, her mother's words ringing true in her ears, and she steeled herself for what she had to do.
“I love David; he is the love of my life, and the only family I want and need! Since you obviously can't deal with that I don't want to see you again!” she screamed and turned to leave.
Once she was at the door Aria looked back and the look on her mother's face broke her heart so she quickly turned and left; the tears she had been suppressing
the entire time finally allowed to fall.
